SALISBURY, Md. (AP) -- Police in Salisbury are asking for help figuring out who spray painted five speed cameras.An officer on patrol over the weekend noticed that two cameras on Route 50 and Davis Street had been spray painted with red paint. The numbers "1776" and "1774" were also spray painted on the equipment. Officers checked the other speed cameras and found that the same numbers were spray painted on two cameras located on East College Avenue and one camera on East Main Street.Anyone with information about the vandalism is asked to call Crime Solvers at 410-548-1776.

1774- The Intolerable Acts, including warrant-less, unreasonable search and seizure.

1776 - We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Around here, the speed cameras are at ground-level, so you don't need a pole anymore. In some areas where vandalism has become a problem, they have installed a camera to watch the camera. It's only a matter of time until they install a camera to watch a camera to watch the camera. $afety is just that important.

Watch the number of accidents increase at those intersections. The culprit should be charged with negligent homicide for every death that occurs as well as be marked as an accomplice to any infraction observe at those locations. This should happen until such time the cameras are fully functional again.

Also, the individual should have to reimburse the city for estimated monies lost as well as face criminal charges for vandalism.

You mean the same Maryland police who just illegally released the names, SSNs, DOBs, places of birth, etc. of thousands upon thousands of MD citizens to members of the general public because they can't keep up with their paperwork? Link
